A Beautiful, Refreshing Book

I was absolutely thrilled with Poetically Correct. It was one of the most incredible collections of poetry that I've ever read. The poets featured in this book brought up different views on so many aspects of life. All the poets were very intelligent and talented. It's a must have for any ones collection.

Wonderful!

In one of my short works, I once wrote, "I've had poetry published, but this does not make one a poet. Appearing in a textbook anthology in which the editor takes great pains to footnote, annotate, and butcher your work until no one except the editor can get any enjoyment from it makes you a poet."This anthology proves me wrong. These are absolutely wonderful young writers, and I cannot wait until the second edition is printed!

Modern poetry at its best

Sharp, beautiful, and eloquent. This book rekindled my love of poetry that isn't found in Literary Anthologies.

Poetically Correct

I have never been much of a poetry fan---until now. These young people express themselves eloquently, and with emotion. To say I was "blown away" would be under stating my reaction to this book. This isn't a bunch of lovelorn teens bewailing their lost and found romances, but bold and honest observations of the world around them. I saw the world through the eyes of others for the time I have dwelled inside the covers of this stimulating book, and was rewarded with some exciting insights into the younger generation. This book will be loved by young and old alike. I have a granddaughter in the age group of these writers, and am extremely impressed with their work. Buy it, read it, you'll be glad you did!
